  • Maven and Ant

    I have been working on a project with IIB (IBM Integration Bus). If you are like me, you want to automate all those pesky build tasks. In IIB, I needed to package and build my project (BAR).

    I investigated scripting the build using the mqsipackagebar command . I noticed at the bottom a description of using it with ANT.

    I’ve used ANT in a few projects (in combination with Maven). I took the script as a starting point, added the jar files and property files (based on configuring environments without IIB). I configured the maven-antrun-plugin in order to integrate within my parent project’s maven build.

    Here is some sample code for you, I hope it helps you all get started:

  • ODBC and ESQL

    To setup ODBC bridge from IBM Integration Bus to Db2, download and install the ODBC bridge from the IBM Data Server Runtime Clients. It’s a 1.3 GB download, and you only need about a 40 MB file for your system.

    The installation is straight forward – Click Next, and Finish.

    The complexity and detailed steps are in the configuration of the ODBC Bridge and IIB.

    To setup the ODBC bridge and IIB, follow these directions:

    1. Start > Run

    2. Type ODBC

    3. Click on Data Sources

    4. Click on `Configure ODBC

    5. Enter the Connection Details

    Name Value
    Username db2admin
    Password fakepass!
    IP 9.32.18.166
    Port 50000
    Database name SAMPLE

    1. Name the alias as SAMPLE

    2. Launch a Command prompt

    3. Start > Run

    4. Enter cmd

    5. Change directory to server\bin

    6. Launch iib

    C:\Program Files\IBM\IIB\10.0.0.4\server\ 
bin>mqsisetdbparms.exe TESTNODE_cheetah -n SAMPLE -u db2admin -p fakepass!

        BIP8071I: Successful command completion. 
        TESTNODE_cheetah should be your local node in Eclipse.

    You want to restart the Node (you can look in the lower right of your toolkit)

    1. Right Click the Node

    2. Select Stop, Then Start

    Now, that it is setup, the steps to read the data, the ESQL is easy:

    You can then send a message using the IIB tests , and confirm using your database Db2 select * from DB2ADMIN.EMPLOYEE.

    To Write Data, create a New Input Message with

    {
"EMPNO" : "2229",
"FIRSTNME" : "Paul",
"LASTNAME" : "B",
"JOB" : "PRES",
"EDLEVEL" : 18
}

  • Setting up Db2 JDBC Access

    I have been working IBM Integration Broker 10.0.0.4. I found it hard to find concise documentation on setting up/creating a new provider

    mqsicreateconfigurableservice TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders \
-o DB2Two -n connectionUrlFormat -v \
"jdbc:db2://[serverName]:[portNumber]/[databaseName]:user=[user];password=[password];"

mqsisetdbparms TESTNODE_cheetah -n jdbc::employeeIdentity -u db2admin -p passw0rd1940!

mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n securityIdentity -v employeeIdentity
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n portNumber -v 50000
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n serverName -v 9.32.18.166
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n databaseType -v DB2
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n databaseName -v SAMPLE
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n jarsURL -v c:\db2jars

mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n type4DatasourceClassName -v com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2XADataSource
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n type4DriverClassName -v com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n databaseVersion -v 10.1
 mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n environmentParms -v ""

mqsichangeproperties TESTNODE_cheetah -c JDBCProviders -o DB2Two -n jdbcProviderXASupport -v true

    Restart the Integration Server
